One of the most anticipated launches that is happening at MWC 2014 is the Galaxy S5 smartphone from Samsung. Ahead of the official launch of the device, new images have leaked online.

The leaked images show that the smartphone has a physical button on the front. The person who leaked the images also says that the TouchWiz interface on the device is not a major overhaul compared to the previous version.

The photos do confirm a fingerprint scanner, which can be used with PayPal to authorize payments within the browser. Other specs tipped by the leak include a 16MP camera and IP67 dust and water resistance.

The phone will reportedly come with a 1440x2560 display, 32GB or 64GB of storage, and will also be available with two different processors including an Exynos 6 or a Snapdragon 805 according to the source. The phone is also tipped to get a 3.2MP front camera. Power comes from a 3200 mAh internal battery.

Samsung is scheduled to officially launch the Galaxy S5 later today. You can view quite a few more picture of the Galaxy S5 over at TechCrunch.

He has a valid point. There are people who will always say what we have now is enough, idiotic in my opinion. Why not just say 1080p is grand for all and be done with it ???

Samsung is pushing the limits on what can be done as far as PPI on a handset. When Apple does it with their screen tech. on their laptops etc. we applaud them for moving the goalposts on what is possible and expect other manufacturers to at least try and match what is capable in the marketplace.

Yet here we have Samsung pushing the envelope on their flagship device and people are still bellyaching.

It isn't that I am against higher res, just that after a while, you run into diminishing returns. How many people can tell the difference between 1080p and 1440p on a 5 inch screen, no matter how close they hold it? Since Samsung didn't end up bumping the res after all, apparently they think they have reached "good enough" considering the trade-offs.

No one. Not a single human on the planet earth can tell the difference between 1080p and 1440p. You would need to look at the pixels under a microscope to discern the difference. The human eye just is not good enough.

We are talking about sacrificing battery life and performance for a benefit no human being can enjoy. Wonderful.
